I wonder if she received a lovely twenty year paperweight for her desk? I'm sure there were many accolades of her for so many years of faithful service and how thankful everyone in way world is for her life. Of course this was said with extreme sarcasm.

That's really awesome! Thanks for posting it.

As screwed up as it was, I do have great memories, especially in residence, and got to meet so many amazing people. I just wish more of them had found their freedom. I also wished I had gotten to know people more and not been so serious most of the time!

I am sure I know who those two were!!!

I purposely bought a different, more modern Bible translation after leaving twi in order to prevent Way brain and triggers from the KJV. And read a lot of the gospels. just read the last comment by others. I agree that the Message Bible is great. I also have recently enjoyed the Passion Translation. Both are somewhat outside the box, but good to read. For study, I would use something different.

Hmm, depending on when the Georgia person went to teach, either all of Georgia or maybe that person's county, would have had a shelter in place order they would have violated. I don't think they had to get groceries in Ohio. I am sure a nicely recorded teaching could have been done and uploaded and projected somehow in the auditorium or they could have protected their staff and just had someone already at HQ teach! And does this mean they were running classes when groups larger than ten are not supposed to meet? They can't be transparent, they have to hide in the dark with all the skeletons in their closet. Why in the world would JY apologize? Does this mean he was just going to submit to Rosalie and try to stay in the Way???? Like Rosalie has helped the Word prevailed or lifted a finger to help anyone? For some reason i am just really upset for the DeLis*s because I remember how helpful they were to me long ago!

I enjoyed working with Michele my interim year. And Vern was always great to my husband. Sigh....

"Bless n treat"

No Christmas! Happy household holiday. Happy HoHo....Corpse went on Ho Ho relo......Had to buy cards that were appropriate or cross out words and correct them.

In elementary school and pre-way....

Yikes! An app!!! And faithful followers leaving perfect fives on their reviews.....

Talking to my brother a few weeks ago, he mentioned he and my dad being very worried about me and thinking it so eerily quiet and weird that they didn't see or hear any birds while my family visited me one summer at HQ. Did twi actively kill or chase away the birds?

I remember celebrating Reformation Sunday. Also, at my Advanced class we watched an old Martin Luther movie. Years later, this same movie was shown in our fellowships.

Thank you!

Don't you love all those Reverends on the R&R page? Leave the group that ordained them and keep the title?

Yes, maybe! But I wasn't and kept on going. Took over a decade to finally make my exit!!!

We saw the "or else" in action during my time in the corpse. People kicked out for poor performance during LEAD and all types of other craziness.

Here too! Just need to get used to popping into this area.....

congrats! Downloaded it, will take it for a spin....

Here!!

Donated.

Just saw this thread! I guess i don't meander around in this section often. I pop in and check the about the way. It's late here and I am crashing for the night. Paw thanks for everything. This site has helped me so much! I was smurfette, then pengu in. I never would have made it out without everyone's help here. I will donate something tomorrow since the button is still up....

Just a thought. Anyone who has been in twi for any length of time is so programmed that they need to ABS that no one would really need to solicit donations, they would automatically give.

Hey Tom! Dave is doing great and no longer with the Way. I have lost track of Dominic. Melissa is still involved as far as I know. I believe you are referring to Brian, who unfortunately succumbed to cancer a couple of years ago.

Yes, after decades of being in the Way, it was so important that we finally realized God is at work outside of "the ministry" and was much bigger than and cannot be contained in the little box the Way put Him in. You would think it was obvious, but it actually was a conclusion we had to come to before we could even consider leaving.
